Published date 06 November 2025
How To Recreate This Year’s Must-Have Blondes with Quif Professional
There’s no denying it, 2025 has been the year for the blondies. And in our blonde edit of 2025, we’re breaking down all the standout blonde hair colours that took salons and socials by storm, from head-turning fashion week moments to celeb red-carpet looks.
This year especially, we’ve seen a rise in blonde shades that brought a subtle variation of warmth to the client, and a shift from the platinum tone that was oh-so popular a few years ago. Including soft, sunlit hues to creamy, luxurious tones, the blondes of 2025 are all about wearable warmth, subtle dimension and light-reflecting colour to enhance the client's natural beauty.
Let’s dive into the blonde hair colours that have defined 2025, and how you can recreate these salon and social favourites using Quif Professional.
Sunshine Blonde
Also known as Sunbeam Blonde, this blonde shade is where golden hour radiance meets that natural, sunkissed look. Being a go-to shade for clients wanting lightness with a warm, glowy colour, this is perfect for those who don’t want to venture too far from the natural tones. Blending honey, caramel and vanilla ribbons of hair through a golden base, this creates that effortless sunkissed vibe. Pair this colour with a balayage, and you’ll achieve that lived-in look that has been trending throughout the year.
How To Create The Look
- Formula: Quif Quint:essential 8:3 + 9:1 (equal parts)
- Mixing Ratio: 1:1 with 1.5% Demi Fuel Developer
- Gloss Refresh: Quif Magi:gloss 9.13 + 9:03 (equal parts) with Magi:gloss Activator
Champagne Blonde
It’s time to pop the champagne for your client's New Year's hair-do! It’s soft, luxurious and subtly radiant; it’s Champagne Blonde. This is perfect for those who love a refined, natural tone that still feels glam. This multi-dimensional blonde blends golden and pearlescent undertones that create a creamy shimmer that reminisces that champagne tone. It flatters both warm and cool complexions, making it a go-to shade for hair stylists this year. Plus, if Margot Robbie is an avid Champagne Blonde, then we want to be Champagne Blonde too!
How To Create The Look:
- Formula: Magi:gloss 10:13 + 8:13 + 9:01 (equal parts)
- Mix Ratio: 1:1.5 with Gloss Activator
Pro Tip: Our Quif Educator, Sara Simpson, suggests adding this as a finishing gloss after lightening to add a stunning, luxurious reflective tone to the hair, which enhances the pearlescent finish that your clients will love this party season!
Caramel Blonde Balayage
Caramel Blonde Balayage is all about depth, richness and sunlit dimension that oozes caramel. It’s perfect for clients who want that soft transition from deeper roots into a lighter golden tone. This luxurious shade blends those honey and creamy caramel hues for warmth and a stunning shine. Again, a super low-maintenance look that still gives your client that blonde upgrade.
How To Create The Look:
- Formula: Magi:gloss 8:03
- Mix Ratio: 1:1.5 with Gloss Activator
Pro Tip: Sara suggests applying a root melt or shadow root to create depth and that seamless blend, then finish with Magi:gloss for that mirror-like shine and tone refinement!
Butter Blonde
Meet the soft-focus blonde of 2025 that took the internet by storm - Butter Blonde. This creamy, bright shade is 2025’s ultimate glossy blonde that nods to the '90s iconic bombshell hair with a modern, creamy twist. It’s all about light-reflective, buttery hues that feel bright yet soft. If clients are shifting from those icy, platinum tones, this is the perfect shade who are still craving that bright finish.
How To Create The Look:
Formula:
- Option 1 - Quint:essential 9.23 (1:1 mix with 1.5% developer)
- Option 2 - Quint:essential 10.13 + 10.3 (equal parts, 1:1 mix with 1.5% developer)
